Fields, courts, and diamonds

Enjoy your favourite team sport on one of Vancouver's many outdoor facilities. The city has 153 playing fields ranging from regulation-size grass fields and synthetic turf to gravel fields.

Most Park Board fields, courts, diamonds and outdoor facilities are available for casual use on a first-come, first-serve basis. The exception is synthetic turf fields (which require a permit), regular fields reserved by a permit-holder, and fields that are closed for maintenance.
